Help with big pulls in newer content

[tinythinker]

I’ll try to catch up with you soon so we can run something. Don’t give up yet

I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth but I think maybe Tridus, myself and another DPS friend could take you through a few things to at least try to give you some input on what you're doing in terms of WHM healing.

Let me know. Hope I can help!

You're on my data center, so if you want to try running together sometime, I can tank one of the ones you have trouble with and see how it goes.

Thanks for the offers. I will keep an eye out for you. I play on Eastern U.S. time, and weekdays I usually am online for gaming at most from 6/7pm to 10-11pm and sometimes less, but weekends are usually much more open.

Basically I like to heal and healers have short queues, so it works with my limited schedule (which can sometimes be far less than the hours above). But if I ever do give up on healing (or a least on the notion of maining a healing job) I would definitely try to find another role. I do this for fun, which for me includes being useful and making progress, so I'll keep searching for a good fit.

When I started to level my white mage through Stormblood I was having a lot of problems on the first pull of Bardam's Meddle and the last half of Doman Castle. It got very discouraging and I got some of the meanest comments that frankly, made me consider stop playing altogether.

I then started to see a pattern. Almost all of these wipes were on multiple trash pack pulls, many had loose mobs, and these two dungeons were also "leveling" dungeons. I was getting tanks who were leveling and had the gear of a leveler that were pulling as a tank would at an endgame dungeon they out-geared or was synced into. A great many of them were also pulling these packs then running out of the party's range.

I know myself and I do have a problem with my focus/attention but after some honest reflection, these were mostly not my fault. So I would encourage you to examine your own play and be sure you are only fixing mistakes you are making and not over-correcting for the mistakes of others.
